Our take on the Garmin Approach S12

The Garmin Approach S12 is a GPS golf watch focused on the basics: front, middle and back distances, hazards, and scoring. It has a sunlight-readable MIP display and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 hours in GPS mode or 10 weeks in watch mode. It suits golfers who want reliable distances without paying for features like a color touchscreen or swing analysis. Compared with pricier models, it lacks a full-color screen and advanced sensors, but it covers the essentials well.
